Louis-Ferdinand Céline said this quote

Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.

~ Louis-Ferdinand Céline

Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.

There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.
